Products that do what Revise.js – Building blocks for contenteditable-based text editors does

Hi HN. I've been working on this since 2018. Revise.js is a set of building blocks for contenteditable: a web component that gives you a textarea-like .value for any contenteditable element, an Edit data structure with compose/transform/invert for OT inspired by the Xi editor, and a Crank.js integration for declarative editable components. At 32.8 KB gzipped (including the rendering framework), it's 2–4x smaller than ProseMirror, Slate, or CodeMirror.

   Open-source .docx editor library for building document apps▲107

   We are working on an open-source .docx editor library for apps that need to edit Word documents in the browser. We just shipped 1.0. A lot of existing approaches convert .docx into HTML and lose document semantics along the way. Our editor parses OOXML directly and uses its own rendering+layout engine to produce paged documents with html/css. Edits round-trip back to .docx, so you’re always editing the document, not its representation. The core rendering engine is framework agnostic, with React and Vue ui adapters on top. It’s Apache 2.0. Happy to answer questions.
